After the pain I've been having in the arch of my foot, it was with some hesitation that I headed out for a walk today. I started off slow as I went to meet Ny, hoping that easing my foot in would reduce any problems. In the past I would have just taken painkillers and been done with it but as I have grown and matured I have realised that this is not the best option. Able to feel the injury alllowed me to alter my pace and continue with the walk. I was aware of it being uncomfortable but it was only towards the end that I could have described it as painful.
Our original plan had been a stroll along the canal but Ny needed some things from town. Errands run, we headed to explore an old cemetery that had been allowed to grow over in to a nature reserve. It appears that new headstones are being reserected for old soldiers who are buried there!
It was then a wander along the Water of Leith before heading back to town. What felt like a small stroll actually ended up being a 4 hour 13.7 mile walk, but oh did the stairs back to my flat hurt my feet!
